In a Major League Baseball matchup on Sunday at Coors Field, the San Francisco Giants and Colorado Rockies square off. The pitching has been strong, and the Rockies have won the first two games of this series. With a record of 59-61 overall and these games being played at Coors Field, the San Francisco Giants’ offence hasn’t been strong enough to win these games. Overall, the Giants rank 12th in the league with 4.48 runs scored per game. The Giants’ offence has to do significantly better in this game.
The Rockies, who are on the opposing side of this contest, have an overall record of 53-69 and currently sit with a three-game losing streak until winning their previous two games. The Rockies offence was terrible during the three-game losing run. The pitching has been the main problem all season, allowing 5.42 runs per game, which ranks 29th in the league. C.J. Cron has 80 RBIs and 23 home runs to his credit.
Jakob Junis, who is now pitching for the Giants, has a 4-3 record with a 3.53 ERA. He pitched seven innings and allowed four hits and one run in his most recent start against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Kyle Freeland, who is pitching for the Rockies, has a 7-8 record with a 4.82 ERA. He lasted six innings and gave up seven hits and three runs in his most recent start against the St. Louis Cardinals.
In their previous six games, the Giants have a 5-1 record on Sunday. In their last five Sunday games, the Rockies are 0-5 overall. In the Giants’ previous five games overall, the under is 4-0-1. In their previous 5 games, the Rockies are 0-5 when facing starters with WHIPs under 1.15. The Giants have had trouble in their first two games, but I believe things will change today. Freeland hasn’t exactly been dominant this season, while Junis just had a start in which he allowed only one run. San Francisco will win game one of this series, and I anticipate Junis to have another great start.
